It is the larger caliber version of the [[HK416]], and chambered for the full-power [[7.62×51mm NATO]] [[rifle cartridge]]. It is a [[Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]], [[selective fire]] rifle with a rotating bolt. The HK417 is intended for use in roles where the greater penetrative power and range of the 7.62×51mm cartridge are required. It has been adopted for service by a number of [[Military|armed forces]], [[special forces]], and [[police]] organizations. ==Design and features== The HK417 is similar in internal design to the [[Heckler & Koch HK416|HK416]], although the receiver and working parts are enlarged to suit the larger 7.62×51mm cartridge. The bolt is a seven-lug [[Rotating bolt|rotating type]], which sits in a bolt carrier and operates in a forged alloy receiver resembling those of the Stoner-designed [[AR-10]], [[Colt AR-15|AR-15]] and [[M16 rifle]]s. Like the HK416, the HK417 is [[Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]] with a [[Gas-operated reloading#Short-stroke piston|short-stroke piston]] design similar to that of the [[Heckler & Koch G36]]. The short-stroke piston is more reliable than the original [[direct impingement]] operation of the [[Colt AR-15|AR-15]] design because, unlike these weapons, it does not vent propellant gases directly into the [[Receiver (firearms)|receiver]], which deposits carbon fouling onto the bolt mechanism as well as heating it up.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/12/army_carbine_dusttest_071217/|title=Newer carbines outperform M4 in dust test|website=Army Times|date=December 17, 2007|access-date=January 30, 2011}}</ref> The early HK417 prototype used 20-round magazines from the [[Heckler & Koch G3]] rifle family, which did not feature a bolt hold-open device. Later prototypes, however, switched to a polymer magazine with bolt hold-open. The magazine resembles an enlarged version of the [[Heckler & Koch G36|G36]]'s transparent magazine, except without the pins for holding more than one magazine together. ==Use== Purchasers of the HK417 have typically intended it to complement lighter [[assault rifle]]s chambered for less powerful [[intermediate cartridge]]s (often [[5.56×45mm NATO]]), for the [[designated marksman]] role. The HK417's greater accuracy, effective range, and penetration offset its greater expense, its lower rate of fire, and its smaller ammunition capacity both in magazine and carriage.<ref name="MilFactory">{{cite web|url=http://militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=577|title=Heckler & Koch HK 417 Battle Rifle / Sniper Rifle (2006)|website=Military Factory|date=June 22, 2014|access-date=December 23, 2014}}</ref> ==Variants== ===Military and law enforcement=== The HK417 models chambered for 7.62×51mm NATO available to the military and law enforcement market are: * '''HK417 12″ 'Assaulter'''': carbine with {{cvt|12|in|disp=flip|1}} standard barrel * '''HK417 16″ 'Recce'''': "Recon" rifle with {{cvt|16|in|disp=flip|1}} standard or accurized barrel * '''HK417 20″ 'Sniper'''': "full size" rifle with {{cvt|20|in|disp=flip|1}} accurized barrel The HK417 A2 is the improved version.

The upper receiver is made from [[steel]] instead of HK's [[aluminium alloy]]. Approximately 75% of the parts are interchangeable with the HK417.
